Infection in breast implants

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2005
Infection is the leading cause of morbidity that occurs after breast implantation and complicates 2.0-2.5% of interventions in most case series. Two-thirds of infections develop within the acute post-operative period, whereas some infections may develop years or even decades after surgery.

On the Safety of Breast Implants

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1997
A great deal of recent safety research combined with over 30 years of clinical experience has proven the value and relative safety of these devices. Aside from the side effect of capsular contracture, the complication rate of this surgery approaches that of any clean elective procedure.

Breast Implants and Breast Cancer Screening

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2003
Concern about breast prostheses impairing breast cancer detection has become a priority issue. This article provides a review of the literature on the influence of implants on early detection methods of breast cancer, specifically breast self‐examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE), and mammography.

Silicone Breast Implants and Breast-Feeding

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1994
Breast implants made of silicone material have been used for three decades. It is estimated that by 1989 between 850 000 and 1 million women received these implants (60% for cosmetic reasons, 40% for reconstruction) (R.R. Cook, oral communication, 1994). There are no data on the incidence of breast-feeding in these women.
